Say What???

I was driving to my in-law's to pick up my two girls after work when I spotted my girls, my mom-in-law and her neighbor, Mrs B (mom's house and Mr. B's house sits right next to each other) walking the dogs. I stopped the car and started chatting with them on the street while my girls were hugging my legs.

Suddenly Mrs. B said, "Maki, did your mother in law told you about the boys??" I had no idea what she was talking about, so I looked at JT's mom and she said, "Oh, not yet. Why don't you tell her now?"

So, here is the brief conversation.

Mrs B: "You know, my boy J? You saw him the other day, right?"

Me: "Yes, he was just driving home with two friends."

Mrs B: "So, my J goes, {Mom, how old is Maki again?}, so I asked him why? and he said, my buddies think she is HOT!!"

Me: What!? I am 35!

Okay, everybody, I am flattered, kind of. But you know, those boys are 16 years old. I don't know if I should be happy or embarassed about this.

What happened was, we all drove to JT's mom's house on Sunday afternoon to say goodbye to JT's cousins who were visiting from NJ for Thanksgiving. We're helping them loading their stuff to the car when I saw J's car driving by JT's mom's. I saw J's face, so I waved at him and he waved me back. After parking his car, him and the two boys got out of the car, so I said "Hello J!" That was it. Somehow the boys thought I was hot.

They are 16, but they play Football, so they are huge. 16 year old high school kids nowadays look like they are in college. But anyway, I started laughing and Mrs. B was laughing too. Really, I am 35. Maybe I don't look like 35, but I think I could be their mom.

When I think about it, Ashton Kutchr married Demi Moore who is 16 years senior. That's pretty big age difference. Maybe I could handle 23 (and it still sounds like commiting crime), but Maki can no way near handle 16 year old! LOL..

Mrs. B told me that it's always good that young people find you attractive. Maybe so, Mrs. B, maybe so. I prefer "Gorgeous" or "Pretty" or "Beautiful" though. We all use "Hot" these days and it's no different among the teenagers I guess. Mrs. B said, "Alrighty then Maki, I will tell the boys that you thanked them!" Yes Please do!!!

I told JT about the story when I came home. He didn't know whether he should be happy or jealous that 16 year old said his wife is hot. He was kind of confused.

My senior year of college, I was driving home from work when a high school kid pulled up in his new Mustang convertible, top down. I had my windows rolled down, and I looked over because his music was obnoxiously loud. HE PROCEEDED TO HIT ON ME THROUGH MY CAR WINDOW. At the time I was so disgusted, I know I had a horrible look on my face. After overcoming the stupidity of it all, I took it as a compliment that he thought I was so young and "hot."

I think to teenage boys "Hot" equates to gorgeous and beautiful. They just don't have that big of a vocabulary ;) so take it as a great compliment! :)

This was about a month ago where I got into the elevator at work and this man steps in right after me. He looks at me and then says "You are so beautiful" but not in a creepy way so I wasn't scared. I said thank you but then it was quite awkward the entire elevator ride down. hahaha!
